1. Product designation
GSM/GPRS wireless router of МТ01 type (hereinafter referred to as МТ01) ensured data transfer within
a GSM/GPRS/CDMA network over TCP/IP protocol stack. МТ01 is designed for operation in telemetry sys-
tems, wireless data transfer and data collection from sensors.
МТ01 operates in Client mode. In this mode a МТ01 is connected to the data collecting server and trans-
mits data to it from external devices connected to this server.
For operation in this mode MT01 may use any SIM-card from a local provider.
In Client mode МТ01 is connected to GSM/GPRS/3G network automatically, and afterwards it estab-
lishes a connection with a preset server.
МТ01 ensures transparent interaction between external devices connected to МТ01 over RS232/485
interface and monitors the connection state, and in case of its loss it restore such a connection in an inde-
pendent manner.
Two SIM-cards may be used that makes it possible to back up communication channels.

A modem supports operation over Modbus protocol. Modbus RTU protocol may be also realized. Modbus
RTU is a packet protocol that is used for operation with external devices through RS232, RS485 and RS422
interfaces. Its distinctive feature is that a time interval between data packets is provided that is at least as one
preset in the modem settings. Modbus RTU protocol must be used particularly if an external device operates
over the same. A value of such an interval between Modbus RTU packets must be selected manually: set the
value at which polling of an external device takes place.

8. SIM-card installation into МТ01
To connect МТ01 to Internet using a cellular service, a SIM-card of mini-SIM format (standard SIM-card)
is required. Prepare a SIM-card, whip off the query of PIN code for it.
Note:
Mini-SIM format differs from other card formats by its dimensions. Be careful when obtaining a SIM-card
from your communications service provider as a modem is not designed for operation with SIM-cards of other
formats.

Fig. 8.1 — SIM-card installation into modem
To insert any SIM-card into a modem the following operations shall be performed:
1. Using any pointed tool press the button located close to the first SIM-card tray (pos. 1 in Fig. 10).
2. By pulling the tray, remove it completely (pos. 2 in Fig. 10).
3. Insert SIM-card into the removed tray.
4. Insert tray with SIM-card back into the modem, in slot for SIM 1.
If two SIM-cards are expected to be used for backing up communications service providers, repeat items
1 – 4 for the second SIM-card and insert a tray with this SIM-card into a slot meant for SIM 2.
Caution!
When installing a SIM-card do not apply excess physical efforts.
A tray to be inserted into a slot for SIM-cards shall be turned in such a way that the SIM-card contact pad
faces a printed-circuit board. Violation of this rule may cause a damage of SIM-card or its tray.

9. МТ01 mounting
9.1. МТ01 mounting on 35-mm DIN rail
To mount a modem onto a DIN rail with its front side facing downwards, use two mounting brackets
of WAGO 209-123 type (Fig. 9.1).
Fig. 9.1 — WAGO 209-123 bracket
Attach mounting brackets to the rear wall of the MT01 casing by self-driving screws (for this purpose two
holes are provided in the casing). Mounting brackets and self-driving screws are included into the scope
of supply.
Fasteners are installed into existing holes as shown in Fig. 9.2 and 9.3.

Overall dimensions (in mm) of МТ01, its fasteners and holes for self-tapping screws are given on the draw-
ing (Fig. 9.4).
To mount a modem on a flat surface, make use of M3 fasteners. Two holes are provided in the modem
casing (see Fig. 9.4). It is advisable to use self-tapping screws of Din 7981 ST2.9 x 25 type.

10. Device operation description
When power is applied to МТ01, red LED 1 starts glowing, which fact indicates that MT01 is powered on.
Afterwards, yellow LED 4 starts glowing. This means that a communication module is switched on.
A communication module establishes communication using a certain algorithm described in Section
titled «Working with SIM-cards».
Green LED 3 displays the communication module operation results.
After a successful loading of all МТ01 modules, green LED 2 starts glowing. If this green LED fails to glow,
contact the technical support service. Green LED also takes part in informing user of the firmware upgrad-
ing process, mechanism of which is described in Section 12.
After a communication has been established, МТ01 starts operating in accordance with the settings of a
configuration file. МТ01 scans the lower-level devices through RS 232/485 and RS485 ports, and sends infor-
mation obtained from these devices to a server, from where it is taken by the upper-level software. МТ01 also
submits inquiries to the lower-level devices that are received from the upper-level software through a server.
11. МТ01 basic setting-up steps
11.1. МТ01 power connection
Power is applied to МТ01 through the fourth pin connector. МТ01 is powered from 24 V DC. Contacts 1,
2 and 3, 4 are soldered on a board.
Voltage of +24 V shall be applied to pin 1 or 2 (they are soldered into a single potential on a board) so that
to make a connection. Apply 0 V to pin 3 or 4 (they are soldered into a single potential on a board).

11.2. Connection of devices to МТ01
Devices shall be connected to МТ01 through a 8-pin connector via RS232 or RS485 interface. A capabil-
ity of simultaneous using all three interfaces («RS232+ RS485+ RS485») has been implemented.
In the process of networking using RS 485 communications interface, up to 32 devices may be con-
nected to the twisted-pair line; and up to 256 devices if an amplifier is used.

Rt - terminal resistor
Fig. 11.2 — Example of device connection to МТ01
Terminal resistors are used for RS485 interface. They provide the concordance of the «opened» end of
cable with other line, removing the reflection of signal.
If there are only two transceivers in the line, no resistors are required. If there are more than two transceiv-
ers, they shall be installed at clients spaced maximally apart within the line.
A resistor shall be installed near the farthest device.
Resistor rated voltage corresponds to the cable wave impedance, and is usually 100 – 120 Ohm for
twisted-pair-based cables. For example, impedance of a wide-spread UTP 5 cable used for constructing
Ethernet networks is 100 Ohm, and of special cables for RS 485 of Belden 9841...9844 type is 120 Ohm.
Cables of other type may require other rated values.
11.3. Setting-up through a server (using a configuration file)
МТ01 is configured with the help of a server. Configuration is performed in the following manner:
МТ01 enters the Internet and «finds» a configuration file on the server. Afterwards it downloads this file
into its internal memory and processes information from the file. Then it reboots and sends a mark to the
server indicating that a configuration has been applied successfully. Besides, a configuration file may be
edited with the help of МТ01 web-interface.

АТ.687422.052 OM
11.4. Internet accessibility setup using web-interface
МТ01 access to the Internet is configured through a web-browser. A web-browser is included into the
following operating systems as a standard application: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/MЕ/Vis-
ta/7/8, etc. The product has a light-weight and user-friendly configuration interface. MT01 may be con-
nected in various ways, in particular through the external repeater/concentrator, or it may be connected
directly to PC. However an Ethernet interface shall be previously set up on a PC.
Setting up network card to be used with МТ01
Press START button. Press «Control panel». «Control panel» will open.
Press «Network and task status browsing» bar in «Network and Internet» option.
The entire setup is performed in «LAN connection» network connection properties in TCP/IP (Fig. 11.3).
